I would recommend using some sort of a tutorial to help you get some basic grounds on how to play (Basics of the interface, digging, building, items). Once you read and test these, stay off the wiki for a while and try to figure out things as you go. Don't think too far ahead at first.

FUN and fun is to be had brave soul. dont give up. This game is alot harder than minecraft and terrania. But when youve got the grasp, youll find its a brilliant way to lose yourself for weeks. let alone hours.

You can plant on sand and clay underground - you don't need overground farms for the start. Took me two fortresses two figure THAT out.

Loo(k) tells you what's on a particular tile, and only living beings or things written in tan can be examined further with the Enter key.
I(t)ems tells you what's inside a building. In the case of buildings, this tells you the exact items used to make it. In the case of workshops, this also tells you what's inside the workshop. This will come in handy when you get a dwarf in a strange mood waiting for the next item on their list.
(q) is for Building Tasks, and tells you what jobs are queued in a workshop. It's also used for altering settings on created stockpiles.

.. Not to mention (v)iew, which gives you details of creatures, in particular a health summary for any creature and allows you to set labor tasks for dwarves. This game has far too many overlapping commands to get information about things on the screen.

Tutorials are unnecessary

Yeah right. Back to your cave.

Click the link in my sig, they are pretty recent video tutorials...

Cave? Do you realize what game we're playing? I started without tutorials, didn't have one guy telling me what to do so I had a lot more fun and Fun.
